Moving musings
As my friends and family know, I've moved across America in the last few days. I'm happily settled in a new house, so it's back to work! But I wanted to talk about my trip.
From the highway, America is Eden. Smooth, fast roads winding thru beautiful countryside, punctuated by brightly-lit gas stations with clean restrooms. And even though gas costs more than ever, you get the sense that (if you have a car) you can travel somewhere new and start a new life far away. Of course, your mileage may vary, pun intended, and poor folks tend to ride the bus, which offers a completely different perspective. Still, I wonder if a trucker's life on the road offers continual feelings of wonder and patriotism, or if it's all just a another town to them.
